Yes this is an echo chamber and No you can't call out lazy holos

(3/3—p2)
—
And this stupid, dumbass shrine maiden thirsting for praise from her superiors held the sun still for just one more second, trying her best to perfectly align it as she was taught—Danmaku, for as random as it may see sometimes, is still a game of many traps and illusions used to manipulate your opponent; so you always must be considerate of spacing and timing, both which can be enhanced by arithmetic, though the basis of talent and instinct are ultimate—, screams for me to 'leave' and 'move' were completely ignored, the skin burning off my dermis and hair losing some tones of coloration, teeth bared and nails about to be pushed beneath the skin…

… But I held on anyway! So what if I wasn't born into a family that, for generations, has practiced Shinto and magic? If I'm not the protector of Gensokyo or whatever; if I had to be taught 'death' in front of everyone yesterday?—or if, even after all this training, sweat and tears, more than a decade of sheer dedication, I'm still so far from being the very best?

I'm still a Moriyan shrine maiden!

With the math right, I finally move out of the way, the absence of a constant source of magic being poured into the seals meaning that, before one second had passed, they all had already shattered like cheap glass.

One more second there, and I'd be obliterated.

Heavens…

Still, I left with just enough time for my legs to graze the inferno as it shot up with the speed of a meteor, perhaps even faster than those missiles Mr. Hieda is throwing at the revolutionaries, all those flames aiming directly at Fujiwara no Mokou, who, with less than a millisecond to react, could only look at her own sun darting towards her...

Flames, of course, wouldn't do any damage.

… But pent-up kinetics?

Her own ocean of fire hits her upper half, ripping her body as if a blind axe met damp lumber, the cut downtrodden and poorly made, viscerally ripping a chunk of her lower body too and dragging it, making the bleeding flesh spin frantically in the air as if an uncontrollable industrial kappa water hose.

The youngest between us comes straight at me, holding one of my arms with concern in her face, trying not to look at the gruesome scene. “Are you okay, Sayori-chan?!”

“You're fucking suicidal!” The second-oldest yells/laughs in disbelief. Ugh, knew it…

All their voices and the others that sprinted to me were ignored, my mind completely focused on not throwing up—I almost fucking died, but I think did it…

… Heavens, I wanna throw up so badly.

Sanae-sama, much stronger than me, immediately lunged forward and caught the crazed flesh with one hand—gohei between her teeth—, her thousands of seals rushing to cloak the about to revive Fujiwara no Mokou, words leaving her mouth quickly and automatically as warm blood cascaded down her torn uniform and body, the amount of power lacing each word enough to hold that Sun for seconds, her veridian hair maddeningly yet somehow elegantly wavering about, the Gohei held between her teeth shining with the blessed energy coursing her body and leaving her hand, feeding the seals and smoothly—

—No, not smoothly: flames began exploding out of the massive mountain of faith, trying their best to burn down the forming cage, talk between us ceasing as we watched in utter expectancy, spent and weakened—should she fail, nothing would be able to seal Fujiwara no Mokou…

But Sanae-sama is THE Moriyan miko and fought those infernal flames with all she had, stars and scriptures rupturing the air, eclipsing all those flames, her very divine power exuding naturally and marking the air with golden words from the past, future or maybe a mixture of both—auric columns that chronicled the Moriyan history compressed into one single sealing.

A true goddess far away as possible from her final twilight, doing what she does best, against the backdrop of a hell of reds.

It was like a magnificent painting.

And like all great masterpieces, its end proved the worth of its run as those scriptures, acting like chains, snuffed the fire and collapsed the sealing chamber into a star, silence arising then…

For Sanae Kochiya had sealed Fujiwara no Mokou.

… The smile on my face was confusing, same thing for the tears: why am I crying so suddenly? I'm not one of the rookies or something alike; I'm the next in line to become the Moriyan miko—w-why the hell am I crying?! And hugging my sister maidens, all of whom also cry and laugh in delight?

I should be up there with Sanae-sama, helping her: all she did was the inner shell of the seal—the hardest part—now we need to complete the outer shell, a bastion to hold Fujiwara no Mokou; otherwise, with just the inner shell, she can easily escap—

—Gunshots echo; nothing out of the ordinary today…

… But why did Sanae-sama jolt forward, her body shivering?

W-Why is there blood pouring and tainting what remains of the white part of her dress…?

I blink, and it's as if rain is reversed, coming from below…

A rain made of bullets.

its called an echo chamber

>>46851682
I understand the niche and echo chamber aspect of it and why that gives the sensation of a degree of popularity, but in practice I would argue very few people know about Touhou and the ones that do care very little about it.
I cosplay 2hus and have been in different venues in different cities and the amount of approaches I because of touhou is fairly minimal. 2hufags exists out there thats for sure but encountering them is rare

>>46851284
I just lurk and funpost whenever a thread gets derailed, I otherwise dont like to interact with the average poster of this place.

>>46851492
I think they are, they are not uber popular, but they have a niche, but again, thats a niche, so maybe I am biased since TH enviroments tend to be very echo chamber heavy.
I remember some anon asking me why does the western wing of the fanbase house so many hispanic creators, I thought that was very funny.

>be born in 2003
>anons ITT could have been here for nearly two decades

I'm already getting sick of the lot of you, and I've been here for the (worst) part of 8 years. How do you keep coming back? Are the same touhou shitposts from 2008 still funny? the occasional IRC/vidya/good discussion thread I've found whenever new content gets announced is fun but other than that I have zero desire to interact with 4chan. It's a vitriolic and anti-social echo chamber. On /lgbt/ and /a/ it's even worse, the trolling and /pol/ invasions are literally everywhere. /jp/ is alright since it's slower but 95% of the time it's just the same image dumps filled with the same horny anons wanting Yuuka to sit on them or whatever.

>>46727842
It was fun to come together as a general and remember Hinatazaka exists for a few hours but the Nogicuckies are trying to post normally so it's time to get back to work and delete them from our echo chamber

>>46524597
More than 1000 threads passed and still shamelessly astroturfing the days away here in his personal echo chamber waiting to die painlessly in his sleep

The worst offender is this worthless janny who watched everything unfold for years until it got to this point, actively protecting the culprits circlejerking each other into creating the perfect echo chamber general they needed to live their empty lives in while removing anyone who went up against them

>>46457783
Yet KC decided to put it into his setting similar to the blowjob banana, tentacle forests, bestiality potions, doppelganger potions, and a myriad of other things you echo chamber cock snorkelers despise. Curious.

>>46420142
no lol they dont
they just talk about fanworks they WISH were canon which is worse than self-aware indulgence
its the same kind of echo chamber delusion like trannies telling themselves theyre women

>>46404880
You don't need to if you're not mentally ill. Make your own server or join a small, private one

>>46404884
Discord being bad is a dumb meme by retards in an eternal echo chamber her. It just depends on the people and server... like all places

>>46347757
"people here" think they can shitpost so much everyone else leaves and they create an empty echo chamber to roleplay as wotas on 5ch

>20 ip thread
sad, couldn't even call it an echo chamber

>>46148063
sperg/Rat, Satokei obsessed discorder with a hateboner for umineko and 07th expansion in general, he raids this place with his discord all the time thinking hes doing the threads a service when everyone outside of his echo chamber despises him

rikafag/rikaschizo who just posts nonsensical shit about rika and attacks anything that isnt about her, is attracted to bait like a moth is to light

and more recently angeposter/angefag who isn't as bad, just spams ange and ange related discussion, like anon said the main show is the two retards above.

>>45967368
fortunately i still have the ability of enjoying my idols away from this thread, so i don't have to think about you at all
when 46hr TV starts and you force yourself to patrol this thread to spam away any posts about it, i'll be watching it quietly by myself because i don't extract my idol enjoyment from turning a dead general on 4chan into my private echo chamber

>>45916561
the thing with twitter is that it doesnt matter
its an echo chamber it just amplifies bad takes, misinformation and lies

>>45914867
Her mentally ill fanbase will refuse to believe this, claim this is a coordinated attack against her and retreat into their echo chamber.

>>45890856
>write a serious critque
>get karma bombed within hours
As bad as 4chan has become, at lease we don't have something as echo-chamber validating as karma.

I don't care if it'll be slow; I want a nogi general. I can only imagine it's the other group posters that oppose splitting because then they can't subject everyone to their astroturffed echo chamber.

>>45711725
Just 4pass things
One Nogi 4pass autist wanting to spam harder than one Boku autist, one Saku 4pass autist committed to deleting Nogi from the real world through shaping one 4chan general into his personal Sakurazaka appreciation echo chamber

Based echo chamber, retard-kun

>>45643469
2 hyperautists spending every day taking turns fighting each other during the day to kick everyone out of their echo chamber and then chatbotting at night about how great their idols are doing isn't making a damn difference out there in the real world

>>45501655
lmao you telling me the schizo who spams how EVERYONE hates certain holos gets his validation from comments with 30 updoods? jesus christ not even reddit is this big of an echo chamber
